Cabochons have their own appeal even though they may not be the most sought-after emerald variety. Although clear gem material is extremely uncommon, cabochons exhibit exceptionally great colour purity with no extinction. This type of cutting is very alluring to gem cutters since colour plays a significant role in the attraction of jewels like emeralds. There are a few fundamental styles to be aware of even though there isn't as much variety as with faceted or cut stones.
The 12 mm x 7 mm x 4 mm Natural Calibrated Emerald Cabochon is a stunning hue of Lustrous green. These 6.5 carat oval emerald cabochons were found in zambian mines. The domed crowns of typical cabochon cuts serve as a visual cue. Although it doesn't always happen, emerald cabochons may have flat bottoms.
Emerald cabochons frequently have curved bottoms as well. The bottom may occasionally also be flat or may occasionally curve similarly to the top, depending on how the particular gem behaves. To be more gentle on internal cracks in the emerald while cutting and polishing is the main justification for cutting an emerald into a cabochon.
